Longtime Las Vegas entertainer Kevin Lepine says the recent massacre that killed 58 people has forced him to make some changes in his live performances.

Lepine, a former resident of Macomb and Oakland counties, returns to Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak with his hypnosis entertainment show Tuesday night.

He said gunman Stephen Paddock’s actions made him review the show to see if anything needed to be altered in order not to offend any of the audience.

“Yes, I made some big changes to the show,” he said by phone days after the tragic incident.

“For example, I will permanently remove using my finger as a gun and going ‘bang’ when I put someone to sleep. That’s out for good. In light of what has happened, I can imagine the visceral reaction, even though it’s for comedy.”

The hypnotist had just finished performing in downtown Las Vegas the night of Oct. 1 and was driving home with his wife, Emily, when they received word that a gunman had sprayed a crowd of concertgoers with gunfire.

That’s when their cellphones began to light up with messages like “I’m safe.” They then reached out to family and friends in the area to check on their well-being.

Lepine, a 1993 East Detroit High School graduate, said he has reflected on the incident and addresses it from the stage at the end of his show.

“It’s not a performer’s job to talk politics, but when this tragedy happened, I was so impressed with how the Vegas community came together. I tell everyone to not take the fear home with them, to love everyone and all they share with you,” he said.

He also allowed all first responders and active military members to come to the show for free in recognition of their selfless service.

“There was a panic and fear still in the air” in the days after the shooting, he said.

Lepine continued: “This was one crazy person who could have done it anywhere. Everybody in Vegas felt a little uneasy, but they came to my show to escape that feeling for a while.”

The city’s response — from police officers rushing to the scene to taxi and Uber drivers picking up people for free to lengthy lines of people donating blood — “undoubtedly was the city’s proudest moment,” he said.

Although he was born in the Motor City, Lepine now calls Las Vegas home.

As a young man, he ventured into the entertainment industry about the same time he learned about hypnosis, after attending the Macomb Holistic Health Center.

His performance — which combines stand-up comedy, hypnosis and a dash of personal growth — is the longest-running show of its kind in Sin City.
